READING - WHAT'S MY ROLE?

Published: 22 August 2012

The Literacy Team at Education Scotland is hosting a free conference for parents/carers.

Reading - What's my role?
Saturday 29 September 10.00 am - 3.00 pm, The King James Hotel, Edinburgh

Once children have mastered the basics of learning to read, many parents are concerned about how best to develop their child's skills and encourage a love of books.  The conference will support parents in helping children to successfully negotiate an information rich world and to become readers for life.

Nicola Morgan, the award-winning author, will deliver the keynote address.  The conference will explore some of the perceived barriers to reading and discuss how parents can best support their children.
